Alternate Historical Outcomes Gaming

In this video I introduce you to one of my favourite pastimes: Alternate History hypothesis. In constructing narratives of roads not taken; I assume the Rothbardían premise that all military, political, business and legal strategy decisions constitute gambles. I also assume the Leninist concept of the essence of the State as being "bodies of armed men". Finally, I assume the proposition made by Benito Mussolini that power is the subordination of the will of one man to that of another by means of calculated application of force.
